| Poor Robin's Prophesie, or, The merry Conceited Fortune-teller. / Although the Poet makes no large Apology / Some insight he may have into Ass-trology, / Then buy this Song, and give your Judgement of it, / And then perhaps you'l say he's a Small Prophet, / For he can tell when things will come to pass, / That you will say is strange as ever was. | |
